Pursue potential where possible
A feasibility assessment means time and resources are not spent on an unrealistic proposal. It allows for realistic pricing of land purchase and for the value of difficult sites to be realised. Advice can be given to overcome and resolve objections, easing the passage to planning approval.
The service ranges from a site visit and verbal assessment to more structured support including written reports and advice on layout and design.
Trees in and around a potential development site can influence what happens, whether it is brownfield, greenfield or a domestic extension.
A feasibility assessment will highlight problems and constraints, proposing solutions. It allows you, the developer, to make an informed decision whether to proceed, how to optimise layout and thus to value the site. If the situation is uneconomical, you can avoid spending time and money on an unrealistic project.
The planning process can be frustratingly slow. Arboricultural input at an early stage helps to avoid problems and pitfalls, reducing delays and saving time and money.
Where technical solutions exist to overcome problems, these can be evaluated, costed and designed.
